I think the author should take a look at Convox [1]. Convox is really the "holy grail" PaaS that I've spent many years looking for. It's a self-hosted Heroku on your own AWS account, and it uses Docker. You can set up a production-ready deployment in about 10-15 minutes, including RDS, SSL, logging, high availability, and auto-scaling. The cost starts at $67 per month: 3x t2.small instances for your highly-available cluster, and 1x db.t2.small RDS instance. (convox/rack [2] is a free and open-source project.) I've worked with OpsWorks (Chef), Saltstack, Puppet, Ansible, and Capistrano, and Convox is a breath of fresh air. I hate Chef with a passion, since I've had to maintain a cookbook for a client that is using OpsWorks. It's ugly, painful, and extremely slow. Docker is a great tool, but it's not a PaaS. You need a layer on top to make

If you're on AWS, I highly recommend Convox [1]. They use AWS ECS instead of k8s, but EKS support will be coming soon. Their rack project is free and open-source [2]. They also have a hosted console that can manage your racks, deploy from GitHub webhooks, and send slack notifications. But you can use convox without that.

I've also been searching for this for years, and the closest thing I've found is Convox [1]. Unfortunately they only support AWS for now, but it's a really good PaaS on your own servers. It's open source, too [2]. You can run a convox rack without using their hosted console. One problem is that it requires a minimum of 3 instances, so it can be more expensive than Heroku to start.

DB: Postgres API: Ruby on Rails Frontend: React, the react_on_rails gem to set up webpack, Flow, Redux, Immutable.js Background Jobs: Sidekiq and Redis Caching: Memcached PaaS: convox (on AWS). See: https://convox.com and https://github.com/convox/rack (But you should start with Heroku.) I recommend the Rails stack. It's not the "hot new thing", but it's very stable, secure, and productive.

Deis Workflow [1] I had really high hopes for this, but the team was acquired by Microsoft and the project was abandoned. I don't think is a job for a single developer, so it probably needs a company to sponsor development. EDIT: They updated the README recently with a link to a fork [2], but there's no new commits for 7 months. I'm very happy with convox [3] now, and they're mostly open source [4]. Their management console is a freemium SaaS service, which includes GitHub/GitLab/Slack integrations. The console can be self-hosted, but that requires an enterprise license.
